Worst case scenerio lineup

Somehow I forgot Dom
C Jones
F Pointer
G Harrison
G Greene
G Jordan(hopefully)

Bench
C CTK kid
F Felix
G Hooper
G Branch

At least it won't take Lavin until Feb to figure out his rotation next year. Or will it?

Lipscomb scholly in process I would imagine.

Worst case scenario lineup is:

PG - Baldi
SG - Hit
SF - Marillac
PF - Tha Kid
C - PMG

Moose subbing at the 2 and 3.  WASJU being the backup PG and starting alongside Baldi against trapping teams. 

Worst case scenario lineup is:

PG - Baldi

C - PMG

I would pay $25 to see that lineup

Marillac, you better hit the offensive glass or you would need to kick your own ass out of principle.

Dom will be watching!

There will be plenty of misses to follow. 

Lavin said that team looks like it could be this years Nova

Preseason #1  next year in the Big East. PMG needs to get stronger though

 The hardship thing might be in play? Who really knows? Why would he play for Temple, rather than St.Joe's? I know Nova is not possible.

If other defections happen from this roster, maybe Lavin waits for his NCAA Consultant gig to end in a few weeks and announce he's returning to California and ESPN OR fOX OR CBS OR NBC..

That team will need a Coach. I'll come out of retirement for those guys.. ONLY $1 MILLION PER YEAR.. I'll  replicate the Boeheim Zone. I'm reading all about it in Sport Illustrated this week..

Can a few of those guys grow longer arms over the summer?

Lineup is challenged...Greene is a killer...will feel compelled to take 12+ shots per game

The frontcourt seems coachable. Backcourt seems volatile.

Is there a chance we see this? Hopefully Jordan and Obekpa stay but there has been more than rumblings about them. Hopefully Lavin is scouring the Juco's as we speak

If it gets this bad, we can send in Mike Maher.  He still has eligibility.

I'll be ready. Scouting potential players down in Colombia right now. All I've come across are either kids who worship soccer or overweight kids ( but could be good for our vaunted SJU conditioning program ). On the plus side there are so many smoking hot girls down here it's unbelievable. Even the ugly ones are hot

Mike, you may want to reconsider taking Sampson's spot.  You would have to show up before the tip off and they won't let you drink beer on the bench.

forget it then.

Jones can fill his shoes?  Really?

You know that the Astros have the same record as the Red Sox right now.  Figure out the analogy?

Now I know what it's like to be a Mets fan.  The Astros and Mets are the only two teams not to make the playoffs in how many years?

Another year headed to the Bermuda Triangle.

if obekpa stays and someone learns how to coach, i wouldn't be upset with 40 minutes of hell with a 9 man rotation.  DLo & sheed get 35-38 a game each, jones & obekpa getting ~30 each, and rotate through hooper, branch, greene, felix, dom for the other 2-3 spots on the floor.  press every play, play super tight halfcourt man and force tempo to overcompensate for not being able to rebound.

Even with the Westhead system, teams still have to finish layups at a good clip.  Shooting the 3 and finishing around the rim on both ends were definite weaknesses.  I've been a proponent of an approach like you're suggesting.

You do not run on made shots. We are going to get run off the boards don't see how we could possibly run. Gathers averaged like 14 rebounds a game for LMU. UNLV had a slew of power forwards that rebounded(Gilliam, LJ) and Arkansas had Oliver Miller and Corliss Williams. We have a 6-7 guy that averaged 2 bounds a game the last year he played.

you don't run as effectively on made shots, but you can still push, and if we're playing 9 we have the opportunity to tire guys out.  Also, what about playing an inverse box and 1, where we play tight man on the perimeter but have obekpa half-loose, roaming underneath and just trying to block shots down low instead of trying to position him for rebounds?

I don't think Obekpa will be here. If he is we will be ok.
